April 2011 Filers

Hey Russian,

WHat do they want you to bring to the interview? They only asked me for my birth cerificate from Serbia (translated) which I have and my proof of citizenship,so I'll just take my passport--but I think we'll take everything--just in case!!

where was your interview? We would like to hear your experience
 
finally after almost 10 yrs..the green is here

Today I received the approval on my family based GC that was applied on Apr12th..The IO called me to inform that he is cancelling my employment based GC and approving the family based GC. The FB GC interview was on July6th and it was not approved since the employment GC file was not at the local office. I did not do anything to move the file from TSC to local. The IO was a great fellow..who approved the FB GC on a very timely manner, that proved that even USCIS can be efficient, I think it all depends on who handles your case. It was a long journey of almost 10 years...Thank you all for your tips and support..wish you all best of luck.

Interview was in Dallas. Went really well. We were basically verifying the information on the form. We went it, swore, reviewed the form, brought additional pictures, answered very basic questions such as - where we met, what were my inlaws names, where I worked - basically a review of the information that was on the form. Got in an out of the interview in about 20 minutes!! Finally received my green card in the mail today!!
 
Hi everyone!

We are APPROVED. We got there at 8:55 am. Appointment was set at 9 am. Waited about 25 minutes. The guy called us and it was the same IO that gave me my citizenship test. I asked him If he remembered me and he laughed and said Hooney I do like 10-20 of these a day!. He went over all my hubby's info on the I485 form, asked when we got married and said you will recieve green card in the mail very shhortyl!!! I was in shock, it was great. We were in the room for less than 10 minutes. The same day like 3 hours later I got an email saying the card ordered and in production

I still can't believe it!!!

Thank you everyone for all your support!!!!
 
Interview was on 7/27/2011 in S.F. we completed that and got "pending" as our decision. Then yesterday (8/6/2011) we got out approval letter. The green card should be here in 3 weeks max.
 
Congrats! Would be nice if you gave some details on the interview.

everybody has moved on to their interviews and we still have not received our interview letter yet. it's been more than a month since we got the EAD. Should we be worried? Any advice on how to follow-up?

Dman,

What is your expiration date on your GC? HOw do you know if it has conditionsor not? My husbands expires on 08/05/2011. They gave us a 10 year card. I think it's because we've been married for 4 years? How would I know if it has conditions?
